[Angst/Fluff] Near-death

A/N:

The '---' between largely spaced paragraphs lets you know the pov has changed, since most of them don't just focus on the pov of one person and are mostly in 3rd or 1st person. Enjoy :)

The rubble from the blow immediately struck my head, blood oozing and falling in front of my eyes. "Get out!" I attempted to shout at my team. The enemy bomb had already gone off and I was left stumbling far away from them all. I knew they wouldn't be able to see my face through the smoke but could hopefully hear my retreat call. I groaned as the pain seemed to grow and my head was throbbing. The snow numbed my senses. I had fallen over from the blast, too injured to even try and get up. I just laid on my side, eyes slightly open, watching the snow and ash combine with each other. The last thing I heard was someone crying out to me, followed by the sound of our helicopter taking off. They made it out, I think. My thoughts gave out the moment ringing filled my ears. There was suddenly no sound. My body was limp, I was fading from consciousness. I cursed myself one last time before my eyes shut.

"No!" Price pulled Ghost inside and commanded the copter to fly. "What about the Lieutenant?!" Everyone was silent as Ghost yelled in an indescribable voice of anguish. Captain Price didn't say anything at first, letting the space settle and looking out at the debris below.

"They ordered us to retreat. You saw them, they weren't going to get up."

No one could bring themselves to say anything back, he was right. This sort of thing is common in the army, they were supposed to be used to it. But human is human, they're going to silently mourn even if they won't show it. Attachment is risky but it's not a crime.

Soap stared at the wall wishing to avoid eye contact with anyone. "Konig..." His whisper didn't go unnoticed by Ghost, who tensed at the name. His thoughts changed to Konig, unsure of what to tell him. "

Alright men, we're dropping back off at HQ and recuperating, we'll have to start planning again and guess their next target." they all nod sternly avoiding the topic and trying to pretend like this was all going to be fine. They landed and continued on after relaying the news to the Head Office.

"Konig." I tensed up in fear that I'd have some kind of confrontation over something I'd done wrong. "Yes?" Desperately trying not to shake my voice, I stood stiffly. I still wasn't sure why I had been summoned by the Lieutenant, as it rarely happens that he wants to see anyone at all. He must have noticed my lack of composure and assured me, "It's just regular news." I hesitated before nodding and continued to walk behind him.

He stared solemnly ahead, not appearing to stop at any of the usual conference rooms, leading me to believe this wasn't official orders or private news. What he wanted to say must be personal. The thought scared me even more.

"I don't really know what to say in this situation." After nearly 10 minutes of just walking, I wasn't expecting that.

"...Is something... wrong?" I had minor experience with talking to the Lieutenant but not enough to really call him by his codename or to find myself fully comfortable like I am with Y/N. Oh, I mean Lt Corpse. They always felt so calm to be around, I felt like I was able to talk with them without feeling all that usual anxiety weighing down on me. I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't love them in a non-platonic way. I nearly forgot about our current conversation and switched back to reality. "Yeah, something is wrong. I'm sorry." Sorry...? My head tilted to hear him. "Lieutenant Corpse died on a mission today..."

...what...

My vision shook for a moment, everything went quiet, we'd stopped walking. I don't know what face I was making, I couldn't feel it. I was in shock. Nothing seemed real anymore, it felt like the news was made up or something. I couldn't process it.
